(resent with Samuel's email address fixed) Hi folks,
This series expands the "dedicated DMA device" support in DRM to the GEM DMA helpers, and converts the MediaTek DRM driver to setting the DMA device and dropping the custom GEM helpers that implemented this function. Various display drivers implement the "dedicated DMA device" support with custom GEM helpers. These include Exynos, MediaTek, and Rockchip to name a few. Allwinner does something entirely different, calling of_dma_configure() on the virtual display device using the OF node of the actual DMA device. Recently this causes a warning if IOMMUs are involved. This series intends to allow the core helpers to deal with it, and not have every driver implement it in slightly different ways, duplicating code. Patch 1 adds dedicated DMA device support to drm_prime_pages_to_sg(). I believe this was missing from the original change that added dedicated DMA devices for PRIME. Patch 2 adds support for dedicated DMA device to the GEM DMA helpers for GEM buffer allocation and mmap. Patch 3 converts the MediaTek DRM driver to use the dedicated DMA device support, and drop all the remaining custom GEM callbacks that deal with it. Patch 4 converts the Allwinner sun4i DRM driver to use the dedicated DMA device support, instead of the of_dma_configure() hack it currently has. The series should be merged through drm-misc-next so that other drivers can take advantage of the change. I also intend to try to convert the Exynos and Rockchip drivers, however both also have options to set DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING when using dma_alloc_attrs() to allocate memory for the buffers. I intend to resurrect the DRM_MODE_DUMB_KERNEL_MAP work from Rob Herring [1] to handle this. The Rockchip driver also has custom IOMMU attachment that I'm still trying to understand.
